The History of the Alevis in Germany, which Began in 1961

Abstract

Alevis gained social visibility with the urbanisation process that started in the 1950s. With the labour migration abroad, thousands of Turks who had never seen the city turned to European countries in the hope of economic prosperity. Alevis are one of the groups affected by labour migration to Europe. Alevis were hesitant to express their Alevism until the 1980s. In Germany, the first institutionalisation in the 80s took place on the axis of religious identity. The initiative to establish the "Association for the Promotion of Hacı Bektaş Veli Culture in Cologne and its Surroundings", which started in 1984, was formalised in 1987 and then associations were opened in other cities under the leadership of "dedes". However, the "Alevi Cultural Centres" established after the "Alevi Culture Week" in 1989 were organised by Alevis with political identities. In our article, the history of Alevis in Germany, which is divided into "dede-centred" and "culture-centred", has been examined in general terms and an attempt has been made to evaluate it in a way to shed light on the history of Alevis in the modern period. In our study, in which we applied the qualitative research method of social sciences, phenomenological approach was preferred as a design. Participant observation and interview methods were also utilised.
